The following compliment TO Gov
Kuott comes from the Louisville Re
publican, a paper that seldom has
anything good to say of any Demo-
crat:
"IIon. J. Proctor Knott retires
from the Gubernatorial office in 4
very few days. 1t has been the habit,
and apparently the only capital oil a
number of Kentucky Democratic
newspapers, TO decry and disparage
Gov. Knots administration, yet II
may well be doubted If the Demo-
cratic administrations Of State affairs
will at any time present clearer
balance sheet or more dignified aud
able history. A good many young
Democratic officials have blossomed
into prominence by an unlustihaDie
antagonism TO Gov. Knots admins
tration. yet take it for all the histor-
ian will write 1t down as fairly good
and immeasurably the ablest Dem
ocratic administration since the war"

just this kind of over-confdence is
what cut down our majority, and the
one-thousand Democrats of Christian

all other stay-at-home' in the

once that another such Shaking up"

II is a little early to talk about
who will be candidates for Governor
the next time, but the Standard
knows man who, if lac will consent
to become a candidate, will carry the
State like wildfre; who is not pol
itician nor "war horse;" who has
more friends at home than any other
man in the State, who would give
him a solid endorsement; whose
home district would give him twenty
thousand votes on election day, and
who would make the ablcst Governor
the State ever had. His record is
clear and his popularity will hold for
fur years. We doubt, though, that
h, would consent to be a candidate.
-Paducah Standard.
Name him. If he is a successful
business man, good speaker and
under 40 years of age, he is just the
kild Of man The Democracy will be
looking for IN 1891.
